When we first met Karey Bishop we knew she was the realtor we wanted to buy a house from! Karey was very prompt in answering questions, returning phone calls and keeping us updated throughout the entire process! Just one example of what she did above and beyond for us: due to the large amounts of snow, our new driveway was drifted in, she had someone scoop the drive and walkways so we wouldn’t have any trouble moving into our new house on move in day! We have given out many of her cards already!

From the first phone call, to the closing, Karey Bishop and the Iowa Realty team were committed to selling our house. The Iowa Realty team and Karey represented our house well in showings, open houses, advertising and internet listings. Our questions along the way were answered promptly via phone or e-mail. The answers were not always what we wanted to hear, but in the end Karey’s response was always accurate.

When we made the offer on our new home, Karey returned the same day with the response. Karey made the whole process easy to understand and kept the communication lines open between all parties.

In our case, buying and selling through Iowa Realty and Karey Bishop was a very positive experience!

I have nothing but praise when it comes to Karey Bishop and all that she's done for me. She was extremely supportive, informative and knowledgeable in preparing my house for the market. She did an amazing job getting open houses set up and multiple showings within days of listing my house on the market. She kept me well-informed throughout the entire process, with helpful hints around the house, prompt feedback from each showing, and went above and beyond to get the job done. My house was on the market approximately 3 weeks before it had a sale-pending, and I couldn't have asked for anything more from her! I strongly recommend Karey to anyone looking for a competent, trust-worthy, hardworking, personable realtor to assist in buying or selling!

We chose Iowa Realty because of their unsurpassed reputation for doing good business and selling homes!  Iowa Realty's agents are business savvy, professional and understand that the customer comes 1st!    We chose Karey Bishop as our agent for all of those reasons.   Karey made it a priority to fully understand our needs and was always available to answer questions.   She was extremely proactive throughout the process and made sure we were never left wondering what to do next.   We received consistent communication and exceptional customer care throughout our selling and buying process!

Last winter my husband and I were in the process of building a new home. Therefore, we were faced with the task of choosing a realtor. After giving it careful consideration and seeking advice from friends who had just sold their homes, we chose to have Karey Bishop list our house and represent us.

Karey was very helpful as we prepared to put our house on the market. She gave us tips about things to do to make our house more appealing to the potential buyers. Karey soon had our house, along with interior and exterior pictures, on the internet. Karey was very dependable and conscientious throughout the entire process. She took the time to make display cards to point out features of the house for the open houses. She also made follow-up calls after the open houses.

Karey was very easy to talk to and we felt comfortable working with her. We would highly recommend Karey to anyone who wants to buy or sell a house. She is very knowledgeable and competent in her job. Overall, she goes above and beyond as a realtor.

As a "I can take care of it myself" person, I was determined not to use a realtor on my recent house search. When I found the house I ultimately purchased, I sent an email to Karey to set up a time and got an email back saying she was on vacation in Mexico, BUT could meet with me a couple of days later or set me up with another realtor from her office. I was impressed that she took the time while on vacation to still respond to me within hours of my email, so I chose to wait until she got back and was glad I did. Karey was the perfect realtor for me to work with and I decided to give up going at it on my own. She was very in tune to what I wanted rather then let's just get a house sold. Knowing I had done a lot of research, Karey didn't try to pressure me into looking at anything I wasn't sure about or not within my price range. She set up showings on a moments notice and juggled many follow up questions with the sellers. There was no pressure, no push to make a decision, let me direct things when I wanted to be in control and took care of things when I needed her to. She was knowledgeable, fun, laid back, never rushed, always helpful, responsive and is the first person I would call if I needed to sell or buy again!!!

Since the day we started working with Karey, she made us feel like we were her most important clients. We listed our house the day we left for vacation and about 3 days later, we had an offer. The offer was finalized about 3 days after we got home. One showing and the sale. Not bad.

We looked at a lot of houses. We had high expectations for what we were willing to spend, but Karey never pushed us to accept less than we wanted, in terms of amenities. She helped us get a good deal on the house we picked and eased the process of buying AND moving.

We weren't selling the highest priced home, nor buying the most expensive, but Karey acted like we were. She patiently answered every one of our million questions. She always returned our phone calls, usually within the hour. She never took another call when she was with us. We considered her professional, personable and knowledgeable. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and will use her again, if we ever move.

My husband and I wanted to buy our first house…we are a young couple with two small children and a big dream. Without lots of extra time we needed the process to go quickly and smoothly. Luckily, we met Karey Bishop and our experience was spectacular! She helped us get pre –approved with an excellent mortgage consultant. She listened to what we were wanting and went above and beyond more than once. Anytime I had questions she was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We know eventually we sell our home and will list Karey as our realtor and have the peace of mind knowing she will do an outstanding job. We recommend her to everyone; whether by buying or selling your home she’s an incredible person!

Hard working, honest and humorous. These are attributes that I would use to describe Karey Bishop and our experience with her. Due to relocation, my wife and I found ourselves having to go through the home buying experience. Karey was recommended to us by a fellow co-worker. After listening to what we were looking for, she went to work. She consistently e-mailed homes for us to look at. She scheduled numerous Friday and Saturday showings. After 4 months and 71 houses, we finally found the one that was right for us.


As we looked at houses, she kept reminding us of the different characteristics that we had liked or disliked in previous homes. When it came time to negotiate on the home we did buy, she did not hesitate to let us know what acceptable negotiable items were and which were not.


Through it all, Karey kept a sense of humor that was both refreshing as well as entertaining.


All in all, Karey helped make our relocation and home buying experience a truly positive event.

Karey Bishop was a dream come true in our search for a new home! My husband and I moved here from another area and lived in an apartment while we searched for the perfect home. It still amazes me how helpful, friendly and energetic Karey was in her efforts to help our search. She emailed us daily with possible homes, was always available by phone and always arranged home viewings to fit my schedule. One time, Karey even rearranged her day to spend several hours viewing a variety of homes when I called her from work one morning and told her the mood hit me to go view some homes. I never dreamed that looking for a home would be as easy as Karey made it for me (and trust me, I looked at a lot of homes!). Karey is the one who found me my new home and I am eternally grateful for how painless she made the experience. I guarantee that your life will be a lot easier and less stressful if you had Karey helping your search for that perfect home.

We both found Karey Bishop to be very professional in her business dealings with us. She was very knowledgeable regarding the local market and very in tune with the mechanics of buying and selling a home. No email or phone call was left unreturned. Her responses were, most often, immediate.

Just as important to us was her willingness to go the extra mile and help us get settled into this community. She was very caring to see that we had what we needed.  Karey was a very nice, friendly person to work with. She made it fun.  She was very concerned with making us comfortable throughout the process.  We were your typical befuddled buyers who didn't know what we wanted. Karey took the time to help us discover our true wants and needs.  Her service was above and beyond what you can expect from most Realtors. We are very happy with our home and feel extremely lucky to have found Karey Bishop as we began our home buying journey! Her thoughtfulness and after the sale service continue to this day!!!!!

We recently purchased a home through Karey Bishop at Iowa Realty. Being first-time homebuyers, we were a little nervous. We really didn’t know anything about the home buying process. Karey did a wonderful job explaining all the steps to us. She was very professional and knowledgeable. If a question arose that she was unsure of, she was quick to do some research and find us an answer.
 
Karey is friendly and easy to work with. She is able to explain realty concepts in “everyday” terms, so that anyone can understand the ins and outs of buying a home. We could not have been happier in our experience with Karey. We highly recommend her services and expertise to anyone interested in buying or selling a home. We will definitely call on Karey again in the future!

Karey Bishop from Iowa Realty recently sold our home for us using the Passport Listing option. We were well pleased with her sincerity and helpfulness. She was honest and persevered not only for the seller but also the buyer. We were well pleased with her attitude and perseverance and would gladly let her sell for us again.
